‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’ to Open in China on May 12

Marvel’s “The Avengers: The Age of Ultron” has been cleared by Chinese officials and will open there on May 12, roughly two weeks after its May 1 domestic debut.

While Disney hasn’t confirmed, media reports in China say that it has been cleared for release on that date by government film officials. A spokesperson for Disney has not yet returned TheWrap‘s request for comment.

The Joss Whedon-directed “Age of Ultron” is a sequel to the original “Avengers,” which brought in $85 million when it played China in 2012. Overseas returns made up roughly 60 percent of that blockbuster’s $1.5 billion worldwide haul.
